  • This paper examines the process of Gyeongbu Highway construction from the standpoint of political economy, which was pursued by President Park Jeong-Hee in the 1960s, focusing on the politics of mobility and demarcation implied in it. As results of examination, it can be argued that Gyeongbu Highway was seen as a powerful element to promote a socio-spatial integration of population and hence to enforce an authoritative political power of the Park regime through creation of mobility; that it has had an strong impact on changing the physical landscape of national space and the spatio-temporal rhythm of everyday life by extending the 'machine space' as a non-place; that it has provided a physical infrastructure on which the period of capital circulation could be reduced through its effect of space-time compression. But Gyeongbu Highway has led serious problems such as uneven regional development, expansion of non-place or alienated place, ecological destruction and pollution. In conclusion, a sustainable politics is suggested to overcome this kind of 'tragedy of highway' and to develop the highway as a true way of political and spatial balance and integration.

  • To affect users' attitudes on social issues, some serious games use narrative which can be an effective tool to provoke users' emotions. In this paper, focus group interview on the experiences about playing was conducted to figure out if the parts of narratives containing educational goals can actually provoke certain emotions or not. From the interview, words having emotional meaning were extracted and matched with Korean Emotion Terms Database. Then the emotion terms were compared with Russell's schematic map of core affect and were categorized. The result showed that users mostly felt unpleasant emotions during the play. The unpleasant emotions helped to achieve the game's goal which is conveying the tragedy of war.

  • DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) is a relatively large protein family responsible for maintenance of normal methylation, cell growth and survival in mammals. Toxic industrial chemical exposure associated methylation misregulation has been shown to have epigenetic influence. Such misregulation could effectively contribute to cancer development and progression. Methyl isocyanate (MIC) is a noxious industrial chemical used extensively in the production of carbamate pesticides. We here applied an in silico molecular docking approach to study the interaction of MIC with diverse domains of DNMT1, to predict cancer risk in the Bhopal population exposed to MIC during 1984. For the first time, we investigated the interaction of MIC and its hydrolytic product (1,3-dimethylurea) with DNMT1 interacting (such as DMAP1, RFTS, and CXXC) and catalytic (SAM, SAH, and Sinefungin) domains using computer simulations. The results of the present study showed a potential interaction of MIC and 1,3-dimethylurea with these domains. Obviously, strong binding of MIC with DNMT1 interrupting normal methylation will lead to epigenetic alterations in the exposed humans. We suggest therefore that the MIC-exposed individuals surviving after 1984 disaster have excess risk of cancer, which can be attributed to alterations in their epigenome. Our findings will help in better understanding the underlying epigenetic mechanisms in humans exposed to MIC.

  • The names of Seokgatab and Dabotab are almost generalized among the people along with Bulguksa the most well-known temple in Korea. But, despite this generalized situation, the names of Seokgatab and Dabotab have not secured the clear standpoint till now. It is because the names of Seokgatab and Dabotab can be found only in the 18C documents like and . More complicatedly, in the record of the Goryeo sarira case found during the dismantling of Seokgatab, the name of Seokgatab was 'Mugujeonggwangtab' or 'Seoseoktab'. This paper is to secure the nominal validity of Seokgatab and Dabotab to remove the confusion due to their names and to raise the efficiency of studies related with Bulguksa in the future. First, their names and the problems related with them were summarized in Chapter 2. Based on this critical consciousness, Chapter 3 deals with the tragedy of Asadal related with the creation of the stone pagodas and its symbolic re-interpretation. In this process, we can see that there could be a viewpoint of the great comprehension in them through the completion of 'the Buddhist Nation'. Then, the architectural features of Seokgatab and Dabotab were analyzed in the ritual view point of . Finally, in Chapter 4, on the basis that the viewpoint of one specific sect can not be predominantly applied in the construction of Buddhist land, it is held that Avatamsaka Idea and Saddharma-pundarika Idea can coexist without any conflict. It is shown in the fact that Seokgatab and Dabotab can make harmony together in the Avatamsaka Idea while keeping their names. With these efforts, we can clearly see that the peculiar titles of Seokgatab and Dabotab can be said to secure sufficient validity.

  • The purpose of this study is to clarify the adaptation of beauty of traditional dress depicted contemporary Korean fashion design. For this purpose, the external form and the internal meaning based on 'the double roots' proposed by W$\ddot{o}$lfflin were analyzed in Korean traditional dress. Documentary studies and objective studies were done with descriptive and content analytic methods. And homospatial process was devised in order to develop the traditional identity in contemporary fashion design. The results were as follows: 1. As the external form, H. O. A silhouette, chogori, ch'ima, paji, and po concerning internal type, kaftan, flat form related to structured type were represented. Traditional color sense were love of white, contrasting as well as analogous color harmony shown often in nature phenomena, and temperate achromatic color harmony. Texture were characterized as rough and coarse expressing vividness, fine and smooth expressing delicateness and tenderness. As the internal meaning, the beauty of purity related to nature, tragedy, and symbolism were represented. 2. Since 1980's. Korean fashion designers frequently applied unstructural kaftan form and H silhouette to Korean fashion design, and sought natural and pliable line in whole dress. Use of white and achromatic color harmony as well as use of linnen were prominent. Designers' aesthetic consciousness was pursuit of the beauty of nature. Representative designers who concentrated on expressing traditional beauty were Lee Shinwoo, Sul Yoonhyung, Jin Taiok and others. 3. A homospatial process could be a method in the creative design which enables to express Korean identity in fashion design, and could suggest ideas of new designs full of Korean identity by superimposed and fused imaginery.

  • 환경개선용수의 비용 부담방법과 부담주체를 결정하는 것은 환경개선용수의 효율적 이용과 관리의 핵심적인 요소이다. 환경개선용수의 비용부담 방법은 공공부담, 수익자부담 및 원인자부담이 있다. 그런데, 비용부담 방법은 환경개선용수의 공급에 대한 댓가를 어떠한 형태로 지불받을 것인가? 환경개선용수의 수익자는 누구인가? 그리고 환경개선용수를 어떤 시각에서 바라 볼 것인지에 따라 달라지게 된다. 즉, 환경개선용수가 순수한 공공재로서 당연히 국가가 제공하여야 하는 기본 서비스인지 아니면 일반 재화나 서비스와 같이 수익자 부담원칙에 의거 수요자가 부담해야 하는지, 또는 공공재와 사적재의 양면성을 고려해 공공부담과 수익자부담을 같이 고려하는 형태가 바람직한 지에 대한 검토를 필요로 한다. 아울러, 환경개선용수의 수익자를 설정하는 문제에 있어서는 수요자가 특정한 목적을 위해 물을 사용하는 특정 사업자인지, 아니면 공익적인 측면에서 불특정 다수를 대신하여 환경개선용수를 수요하는 수요자인지에 따라 수익자가 달라지기 때문에 이에 대한 구분도 필요하다. 환경개선용수의 부담방법을 정할 때 수원(水源)을 기준으로 판단하여야 한다. 환경개선용수의 수원으로는 다목적댐, 하수처리장, 빗물, 농업용 저수지, 지하수 및 기타 하천수로 구분할 수 있다. 아울러 비용부담 범위가 물에 대한 부담에 한정하는지 아니면 환경개선용수를 수익지까지 공급하기 위한 공급시설에 대한 부담인지도 명확히 할 필요가 있다. 환경개선용수는 생활 공업용수 등과 같이 하천수를 특정 용도에 사용하는 것이기 때문에 특정 이용자가 국가에 하천수 사용허가를 얻어 이용하는 것으로 수익자가 비용을 부담하는 것을 원칙으로 하는 것이 가장 바람직하다. 왜냐하면 환경개선용수의 확보가 하천관리청의 의무가 되는 경우에는 하천의 물이 공유재산화 됨으로써 나타나는 '공유재산의 비극'(Tragedy of the Commons)을 초래하기 때문이다. 다만, 비용부담의 정도에 있어서는 다른 요인이 고려될 필요가 있다. 원칙적으로 하천의 자연적 기능을 유지하는데 필요한 유량은 하천관리청의 의무이므로 공공부담으로 하고 인위적 기능을 유지하는데 필요한 유량은 수익자 또는 원인자부담이 바람직하다. 이러한 기본 원칙에 따르면, 환경개선용수는 수익자부담 또는 원인자부담이 주(主)원칙이고 공공부담은 부(副)원칙이다. 본 연구는 환경개선용수의 확보 및 공급에 따른 비용부담 원칙에 대한 기준을 제시한다.

  • The demand that needs 'Digital Legacy', a notion that an Internet user can transfer his private blogs, e-mail and financial assets to inheritors and party interested when he died suddenly in the accident, has been growing recently. This issue has become a social hot potato since Justine Ellsworth's father in USA sued Yahoo for the right to access his son's Yahoo e-mail account after Justine Ellsworth had died in Iraq, in November, 2004 and the problems happened to deal with suicide-related blogs and homepages when great entertainers in Korea committed suicide and soldiers' parents in the situation of warship Chonan tragedy in Korea demanded access to soldiers' homepages and e-mail accounts. The point at issue focuses on the property matters about the digital information of the deceased and the relationship between the deceased and the Internet Service Provider(ISP). This research looks into the trend of judicial precedents and laws related to the digital information of the deceased and suggests the preliminary data of the next research.

  • In hosting outdoor activities and school trips, safety issues are gaining serious attention lately. In addition to Sewol ferry tragedy and an incident at Kyungjoo Mauna Resort, there have been grown problems related to this crucial factor. This research analyzes negligent accidents occurred from domestic and foreign schools and aims to provide effective safety education and policy through comparative analysis between domestic and foreign cases. We mainly relied on documents such as newspapers, internet articles and legal papers to investigate cases and cooperated with relevant government departments for collecting references and setting agenda for safety supervision. The analysis on both domestic and foreign cases revealed that students abroad receive opportunities for first-hand experience regarding safety and systematic education, as safety maintenance is prioritized. Based on this culture, safety education should be habituated domestically, while participatory safety programs that students can actively involve must also be devised. Moreover, through preparation of entertaining contents such as SNS game programs, skits and activities employing multiple facilities and vehicles at school safety education, we must induce students to actively participate in the program with interests.
